Tang Qiuli could judge from the face of Chen Feng, who had always been calm, that an unexpected situation had happened, otherwise, Chen Feng would not have been in such a hurry, but he still sat upright with the old god there, and said to Liu Xinlan: "Xinlan, take a look at the telegram and read it to me." ”

Then, he said to Chen Feng: "Director Chen, after a busy night, let's have breakfast together!" "He knew in his heart that nothing more than the fleet was blocked in the Strait of Malacca, which was one of the expected results, and other than that, there would be no surprises.

Chen Feng opened his mouth in a hurry, and when he came to his mouth, he swallowed it back, if it wasn't for the urgency of the situation, he would never come early in the morning to disturb the division commander, Liu Xinlan took the telegram in Chen Feng's hand, only glanced at it, his face changed greatly, and he read in a hurried tone: "The Bangkok radar station reported that at 5:05 a.m. today, a large group of Japanese planes passed through the airspace of the Nansha Islands and flew to the direction of the Strait of Malacca, and the specific number of Japanese planes is unknown. ”

Tang Qiuli couldn't sit still any longer, put down his job, and took the telegram in Liu Xinlan's hand, an unexpected unexpected situation appeared, and he couldn't figure it out, "Where did the large Japanese army group come from?" The airspace over the Nansha Islands can only be the Japanese air force on the Japanese mainland or Taiwan, and the target is Qiuquange's fleet. ”

He said to Chen Feng: "Immediately send a telegram to the fleet, report this matter, and order the fleet to prepare for battle," Chen Feng hurriedly went to send a telegram, Tang Qiuli's heart was a little uneasy, "At 5:05 at dawn, the airspace of the Nansha Islands was passed, and the Japanese aircraft fleet only needed less than an hour to reach the Strait of Malacca, and more than 30 minutes had passed. ”

He noticed that there was an obvious loophole in the plan he had made, that is, he only focused on the Indochina Peninsula and did not take into account other factors. For example, the Japanese army in Taiwan, fortunately, just in case, ordered Le Yiqin's Southern Flying Group. All of them are dispatched, otherwise, today will be a passive situation.

How could he still have the heart to eat breakfast, Tang Qiuli hurriedly came to the war room, Tang Qiusheng was already busy, he said to Qiusheng: "Brother Qiusheng, there is an unexpected situation. Japanese planes from Taiwan came out, targeting our fleet. ”

Tang Qiusheng was also surprised, the Japanese Ito troops on the battlefield of the Indochina Peninsula and the Japanese army in Taiwan were not under each other's control, why did the plane suddenly appear? He said: "This should be the unified and coordinated command of the Japanese base camp, and it seems that Qiuquan's fleet has made the Japanese afraid." ”

Tang Qiuli agreed with Brother Qiusheng's statement. He also judged that not only his own fleet, but also the main factor of the Third Fleet of the Japanese Navy. Destroying Brother Qiuquan's fleet and rescuing the Third Fleet should be an overall plan, the Japanese base camp was in the middle of the command, he picked up the intercom, "Le Yiqin, where is your fighter group now?" ”

Le Yiqin replied: "Report to the division commander, my fleet has already passed the airspace of Kuala Lumpur, and there will be about five minutes in it." You can reach the airspace of the Strait of Malacca and carry out escort missions. ”

Tang Qiuli said: "Le Yiqin, there has been an unexpected situation, Taiwan's Japanese military aircraft group is already on the way to the Strait of Malacca, and your mission has changed. First, to ensure the absolute security of the fleet, and second, to ensure the smooth conduct of the air raids of the bomber groups, understand? ”

Le Yiqin's voice became excited at that time, "Teacher, good news!" I thought that if we beat that old devil from Nomura, we would never fight again? This time, Taiwan's little devil plane has been sent to the door again, please rest assured that the division commander will complete the task! Come on one, beat the next one, save yourself from looking for these crumbs! ”

Hearing Le Yiqin's excited voice, Tang Qiuli felt a little uneasy in his heart, there was no more, he could imagine that Le Yiqin at this moment, gearing up, eager to try, ready to kill, with these fearless fighters, what else did he have to worry about, but he still asked: "Le Yiqin, when did your second-echelon fighter group take off?" I estimate that this time, the Japanese planes are not small! ”

Le Yiqin replied: "Report to the division commander, fifteen minutes after the first echelon of fighters took off, the second echelon has already taken off, and now it has reached the airspace of Mandalay, division commander, I will lead the first echelon first, go to meet the little devil planes from Taiwan, and see if their heads are harder than Nomura's?" Tang Qiuli couldn't help but laugh, and admonished: "Yiqin, you are the commander, you must pay attention to your own safety!" ”

Tang Qiuli didn't need to worry, the first echelon of Le Yiqin's fighters, withstanding the Japanese aircraft group coming from the direction of Taiwan, plus the fleet's two carrier-based aircraft flying regiments, would inevitably inflict heavy losses on the invading Japanese aircraft group, and the fleet, under the cover of the army aviation bomber group, continued to rush to the waters of the Andaman Sea according to the original plan to carry out the task of capturing the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet.

After a delay of several hours, the Third Fleet would not be able to run anywhere, and if it encountered it at the entrance to the western end of the Strait of Malacca, it would be more conducive to encirclement, and the Japanese warships would not be able to escape if they wanted to.

After a while, the fleet replied, "Division, our fleet, under the cover of the army bomber group, has opened the first narrow channel, and the current progress is smooth, and the fleet's carrier-based aircraft are ready to enter battle at any time." Tang Qiuli was more relieved, there were more than 230 bombers in the first echelon of bombers, which was enough for the Japanese shore artillery to drink a pot.

Tang Qiuquan's heart has been freed from the anxiety of last night, the sun is rising, the Japanese artillery positions are exposed, there is no last night's aimless dazed feeling, he is in the command cabin of the flagship, holding a telescope, observing the bomber group, bombing the Japanese artillery positions on the right bank.

On the right bank of the Strait of Malacca, a sea of fire has already formed, and bombers lined up in bombing formations without the threat of fighter planes and anti-aircraft artillery fire, throwing heavy aerial bombs on the Japanese artillery positions.

When the fleet opened the first narrow channel, the remaining few Japanese shore guns, just fired a shell, attracted a fierce blow from the fleet guns, because the channel was narrow, completely within the range of Japanese artillery fire, there was a destroyer, two shells fell, however, did not cause casualties to the sailors, only caused slight damage to the deck of the warship, which also made Tang Qiuquan feel distressed enough.

After the bombing, there was also artillery fire from the Japanese army, which made the commander of the first echelon of bombers of the Southern Flying Group feel very uncomfortable, "*** little devil, doesn't this make Lao Tzu lose face in front of the navy?" If the commander knew, with his fiery temper, wouldn't he be able to pick up his own skin? ”

"Pay attention to the formation, immediately change the Buddha light, and give the little devil a little bit of a powerful taste," the Buddha light he said is the exclusive killing weapon of the independent division air force, napalm, this thing is very powerful, once it burns a large piece, it can't be extinguished if it is stained, and even the steel plate can burn a big hole, and the bomber group is ruthless, and the "Buddha light" napalm bomb is thrown down like a rain of flowers.

Immediately, the flames were flying, the smoke was billowing, the Japanese artillery position was plunged into a sea of fire, coupled with the detonating shells, the continuous explosions, the right bank of the Strait of Malacca, the world was turned upside down, Tang Qiuquan was dumbfounded, it was the first time he had seen such a ferocious bomb, Major General Amosyev, his eyes were straight, he kept crossing on his chest, and muttered in his mouth, "My God, it's terrible!" ”

In Yamazaki's heart, there is no longer any intention to fight, is there still a way to fight this battle? The shells fired from that kind of weird-looking gunboat are terrible enough, but this is not as good as the bomber of the Chinese people, what kind of bomb is that? It doesn't explode when it lands, but it just bursts into flames, and then everything that can be burned or can't be burned burns up.

The heroic samurai of the Great Japanese Empire, together with the artillery, were surrounded by flames, screaming and wailing, Yamazaki, who was hiding in the underground headquarters, could smell the disgusting smell of burnt flesh, poor Yamazaki Nakasa, with straight eyes, looked at the warships of the Independent Division, one after another, sailed in front of him, he was the first Japanese officer who was fortunate enough to see the two major murderous weapons of the Independent Division at the same time, however, the price of seeing it was too great, it was the entire coastal defense artillery group of the Japanese army with more than 1,600 artillery pieces, and the Japanese soldiers who operated them.

The situation of the battle in the Strait of Malacca, Tang Qiuli can receive news at any time, and by now, he has been completely relieved, thinking of Liu Xinlan's carefully prepared breakfast, the fragrant sauce meat, before he has eaten it, his heart is itchy, just returned to his room, before he picked up the bowl, Chen Feng, the director of communications, came over with his heels.

Tang Qiuli smiled bitterly and shook his head, it seems that today's sauce meat can't be eaten, you Chen Feng won't let me stop having a meal? Liu Xinlan has been carefully preparing for more than two hours!

Chen Feng didn't look at Tang Qiuli's face that was about to sob, and reported: "Division commander, emergency intelligence, Da Nang radar station report, at 5:52 a.m. today, another large Japanese aircraft group passed through the airspace of the Sulawesi Sea, and the target was still in the direction of the Strait of Malacca. After speaking, he handed a telegram to Tang Qiuli, whose eyes were round.

Tang Qiuli was absolutely shocked, "What the hell, where did this Japanese plane come from, in the direction of the Sulawesi Sea, could it be the carrier-based aircraft formation of the Japanese fleet?" It seems that the Japanese base camp will get rid of its own fleet as soon as possible, and the crisis of the Third Fleet has involved all the nerves of the Japanese army's top brass. ”

Tang Qiuli still underestimated the attractiveness of his fleet, in the eyes of the Japanese, his fleet became a magnet, attracting the tripartite forces of the Japanese army, and rushed over with red eyes.

Since the Japanese are putting on a desperate posture, then they will use the Strait of Malacca as a battlefield to fight with the Japanese troops from all walks of life.
